  1. I'm actually going to defend Donald Brown!! I don't know if it's bad luck or something but it seems like the O-line doesn't block well for him at all. I try to look back and see if he has any running lanes and i don't see much he could do any different. I'm just not talking about the pre-season it happened a lot last year too besides the Jaguar game. I do think that Addai and Carter should be ahead of him but he still deserves a roster spot.

  2. I do not like him on our line,

    I do not like him any time.

    He cannot block the pass nor run,

    He can't even block the rays of the sun.

    He's awful at guard,

    Nobody knows why.

    So awful in fact,

    It makes Peyton cry.

    His play in at tackle was quite out of place,

    So bad even Peyton punched himself in the face.

    He's moved all around to see where he fits,

    But our passer's only safe in the time's that he sits.

    We keep playing him even though it makes people sick,

    Why, you'd think he was a Polian first round draft pick!

    Maybe we'll trade him to the Raiders or Chiefs,

    For an old moldy pair of men's boxer-briefs.

    Unlikely it is though we'll send him away,

    he'll most likely be starting on opening day.

    It's a sad situation, that much is now known,

    But we'll live with, and live through it as history has shown.

    He'll play poorly against those when we've got the rock,

    He'll let Peyton be sacked with a whiffed block.

    We'd be better off trading for an old musty sock,

    Anything other than Jeff Linkenbach.

    Dr. Suess ain't got nothing on me. :heh:

    HAAAAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!

  3. The main reason why we are so bad without Peyton is his ability to change the play at the last second, to get us in the best position to be successful. Probably half the plays they line up in doesnt have a real chance to succeed. He also helps out the O-line by having the uncanny ability of calling out which guys are going to be blitzing. I've heard a lot of interviews from players that are baffled by how peyton always seems to know who's blitzing and who's not. Peyton also works extremely hard with his WR's, just by giving a simple glance to his WR or hand signal, the WR knows exactly what to do and they can change their route in a split second. It also helps that Peyton is extremely accurate too.

    They're probably a lot more reasons why we can't function without Peyton but these are some that i could think of, off the top of my head. Peyton has taken the QB position to a whole nother level and some of the other QB's in the league are starting to follow.

  4. Lienart has shown flashes of extraordinary competence over the years, and by all accounts has improved upon that. No way SD lets go of Volek. Vince Young needs to stay at least 300 miles from Indianapolis, no thank you.

    Yeah Matt Leinart has showed so much competence over the years that his college coach Pete Carrol wouldn't even give him a chance to compete against Tavaris Jackson for the starting QB spot!! Even though Leinart will be an improvement over Painter the result will end the same with a handful more of 1st downs.

  5. This is the catch, Houston just switched to the 3-4 and I don't see how Hughes fits in? I'd be all for it. Of all the trade ____ for ____ threads, this one actually makes some sense and doesn't insult the fans intelligence. Lienart would be comforting behind Manning, but I think Houston would rather watch us fail rather than help us out, which is exactly what they'd be doing.

    With the state of our O-line, running game and our Defense it's going to take a good QB to run this offense. The only back up Qb's in the league that could possibly go out and win a game is Matt Flynn, Billy Volek and Vince Young if he's mentally stable that day. I'm not really into giving up on Hughes for a backup QB that will get a few more 1st downs then Painter.

  6. The biggest problem is that Bill Polian was spending a 1st round pick on a RB when our O-line was in shambles. I'm just a believer in getting your O-line fixed 1st before spending a high pick on a RB that won't be productive becuase of the line. We also kinda reached for Brown too, who i had as a late 2nd round pick becuase of his average recieving skills and inability to pass block. If you can't pass block on this team you won't get very many oppurtunities to prove yourself as a runner.

    Pass Blocking- poor

    recieving ability- average

    running ability- good

    When the O-line actually opens up a hole for him once he get into the second level he looks pretty good he looks fast and can break tackles. He just doesn't get a hole to run threw very often and has trouble shedding the 1st contact.

  7. I think Devan deserves to start over Pollack, he give a ton of effort and is a solid pass protector. Mike Pollack doesn't do anything good at the guard position, he can't pass protect or run block. The real wild card is to see if Diem can be a servicable guard becuase he's not a servicable tackle anymore. My opinion of what the O-line depth chart should be right now.

    LT Castonzo, Link

    LG Reitz, McClendon

    C Saturday, Pollack

    RG Devan, Diem

    RT Ijalana, Link

  8. I think you have to look at it a different way though. If the angle would have been good, the RB goes down for a loss of 3 yards, maybe more. The fact that he beat the guard that badly says a lot about his potential. Imagine that had been a pass play. Can you say, "Sack, loss of 7 yards."? Or better yet, the QB gets flushed out of the pocket into Frathis, who routinely strip balls from QB's. He got more penetration from the interior than I have seen from a Colt in a while, preseason or not. I'm very excited to see what this guy can bring to the table in the regular season.

    That is true that it could of been easily been a 3 yard loss, it's just a 50/50 chance on which way the running back goes. Sometimes he will make the big play or a giant hole will open up for the RB.

  9. Nevis is really good, but i noticed on one play that he beat the guard so quick that he was already in the backfield but had the wrong angle to tackle the running back. So the running back had a huge hole to run through and got close to ten yards on the play. That's the only problem that i can see with him.

  10. Yeah I would be thrilled with the acquisition especially if Blair is hurt... Also noone knows if other injuries will happen to the WR core.. Personally he's better than Garçon & Gonzo so I don't see why anyone would be opposed... If the price, is right bring him in!!!!!

    Of course he had a down year play with Flacco and the Ravens lol!!!! duh!!!!! 

    At this point in his career TJ is not better then Garcon and Gonzo, but i would be fine adding him for depth especially if White is hurt.
